Yeah, but he sort of deserves it. My DH seems rather amused by him, though, to my utter amazement. Of course, to be flogged by a rooster of Rusty's size is sort of like getting a strong puff of wind at your ankles, LOL!

Aubrey, I guess those little hens are going to make me wait till spring for eggs. No matter, really. They are hands down the cutest, sweetest little girls I've ever had. I'll be hatching in the spring, though, one way or another, by incubator or broody.

Hey Cindy, same here, no eggs. Mine are only a week younger than your crew so I guess I will wait until Spring also. My little d'Anvers rooster, Carmine, is fertilizing all my Bantam BB eggs however. Good to know I will be able to bring some little d'Anvers into my life next year

I can avoid the tongue lashing she would give someone else for that cause she lurves me.

But I am still leary of turning my back to her after callling her a slave woman. Bahahahaha. I may be a smart a$$ but I ain't stoooooopid.

Don't make me violate my own rules and put a chicken in a box and mail him to KY (and I do not mean RUFUS, either, woman). Your mail carrier may skip you on his route after the pkg bites him, though. Tasmanian Devils, even midget size, do not ship well, I'm told.


My D'Anvers are mating poor Molly (LF Silver Phoenix), who has been laying for quite some time and will squat. They're trying, unsuccessfully, to mate the big hens and Shadow, my banty Cochin, who tells me she has been without a rooster for going on 4 years and ain't having any of that. She hides behind Reba and Sunny. She won't squat for them, but she'll now roost beside them and terrorize the little hens when they try to roost near her. Silly little diva chicken, that Shadow.

Oh don't you threaten me with that toerag woman, I will make a tiny chicken sandwich out of that 1 lb menace, if he is worthy of plucking time. *snicker* Actually, a better idea is my daughter's rooster renovation program starting with the lavender bubblebath and ending with humiliation of cuddlizing. She will shove him her jacket pocket and carry him around all day after his pretty toenail polish dries!

It's time for someone to take up for Rusty. He is putting his life in harms way to defend his territory against percieved enemys both foriegn and domestic. Yes against insurmountable odds this brave boy will do his best to single handedly rid his territory of intruders. That would compare to one of us jumping on a grizzly bear that came into the yard. If he was in the army he would get a medal for his valor. He is after all a Bantam Rooster does that phrase bring to mind a chicken wanting his chest rubbed, I think not. All the mamas boys are a disgrace to the title of "Rooster", they should have been a cat. I say 'Pin silver wing on that boy's chest" for his gladiator sprit.

Wait till Cetawin gets a load of that?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Cetawin]

Oh Lordy where are my hip-waders? That menace is attacking the hand the feeds that is a stupid soldier....bet he is from the 10th Mountain group. *snicker* Go SF! Rufus is without question a Green Beret see how he slings the toerag around like a clay pigeon?

. Little toerag wants nothing to do with this tiny Indian woman.

And REAL men are tough but know how to love their women!

I see the problem now and I am sure Dr. Phil will agree with me. Rusty's acting up is retaliation for the blantant favoritism shown Rufus. Clearly with pride it is stated that "Rufus slings the little toerag around like a clay pigeon" and this malicious act elevates his status to a Green Beret. Rusty is suffering from low self esteem from a combination of derogatory,demeaning and degrading remarks... toerag, "lil snot", snot rag and evil, then have to suffer the indignity and humiliation of hearing Rufus praised for his thug like actions , poor thing doesn't stand a chance. But I predict that in the end Rusty will prevail, he is dedicated to practicing his ninja skills and honing his style into a precision fighting machine so he can comand the respect and garner the praise that is lavished upon Rufus for slinging somebody around like a clay pigeon.

Keep training Rusty, one day you will be the "Cock of the Walk".
